Florida Vehicle Title and Registration Name Change

Good news! In Florida, once you change your driver’s license they don’t require you to update your registration. The Florida driver’s license name change takes care of that for you.

To change your name on your vehicle’s title, it’s basically like you’re selling the car to yourself (only with your new name).

Complete the title transfer to the new name and submit the document to your local Florida county tax collector’s office.

There’s a fee of $75.25, plus an additional $2.50 for a printed copy of the title. Another $2.50 for your Florida registration fee.

Another way to do it is to complete your Florida Voter Registration Application. If you have moved, you can update your mailing address this way as well.

You can visit your local Florida county Supervisor of Elections in person, or send it through the mail.
